THE SUPREME COURT.

Decision Affecting tho Chicago Great
Southern Railway Company.
s WASHINGTON. March 2L-A decision was rem
dered by the Supreme Court, to-day, in the case
of Henry H. Potter, appellant, against the Pitts
burg Bessemer Steel Company, limited, the
Cleveland Rolling-mill Company, the Smith
Bridge Company, Creerar Adams & Co., and
Volney Q. Irwin. Appeal from the Circuit Court
OF the United States for the district of Indiana.
This suit grows out of the claims of the appel
lees against the Chicago & Great Southern Rail-
road, which was bought by Porter, the appel
ant, at foreclosure sale on March II. 1886.
Aug 81 of the same year, the master filed his
report under reference in the foreclosure decree,
allowing the claims of the appellees in whole or
in part. and the court found them entitled to
certain sums amounting in the aggregate to
about $00.000 and decreed that these claims OF
the appellees were prior to the lien of the mort
cages OF deeds of trust mentioned 10 the decree
OF sale. This court reverses the decree OF the
Circuit Court made Oct. 9, 1856. in so far as it
DEGREES that the claims of the five appellees are
prior, superior and paramount to the lien OF the
mortgages or deeds of trust mentioned in the de-
cree of Feb. 16, 1856, and of the bonds secured
thereby, and IN SO far as it provides for the pay
ment to the appellee out of the fund in the reg
specified in the said decree. The case is re-
manded for further proceedings not inconsistent
with this opinion. Opinion by Justice Blatch
